i never said it was an hme i said it looked like a hme......not implying that it was built by hme......def did not look like the seagrave i am used to but i see the market that they are trying to gain....

The cab is made in Clintonville. Everthing is made by Seagrave but the frame and running gear. Listen people this is a Seagrave engineered/built and serviced truck. It is a limited option truck for the tight budgeted departments.

This Demo was listed at $243,000 with an International 330 hp engine. Additional options are available, along with up to 400 hp engines.

NO !!!!!!!! Cincinnati Truck cab here or third party built.

SEAGRAVE QUALITY BY SEAGRAVE PEOPLE !!!!!!!

Thanks for posting all the photos and information on the new FWD pumper!...The new apparatus must be a replacement for the " FLAME " series that was built and sold buy Seagrave a few years ago, and was also sold to Rosenbauer !...

Thanks for the price, with the US dollar vs Australian (currently 83c to 1 Aus dollar) that would make it $291,000 not a bad deal if you ask me, considering we paid $330,000 for a japanese based rig recently. Not sure what compliance issue's there would be, but yeah, not bad. I hope it works for them.

Question

Quint23, you seem to know quite a bit about this new Seagrave product so maybe you can answer this question. You mention that the frame and running gear is not built in Clintonville. That the truck is powered by an IH 330 engine. Would the frame and running gear, i.e. axles, engine, frame crossmembers, air system and other chassis items be a International chassis that Seagrave is mounting their cab, pump and body on? Don't see a lot if IH engines used in custom cabs so just wondering if maybe that platform is being bought rather than built.

Thanks.

The chassis is an International supplied product. It can be optioned with a IH or Cummins engine up to 400+ hp. 2X4, 4X4 will be offered and I believe 6X6, but I am not 100% sure if that will be available.

All other components are made by Seagrave in Clintonville. It is built with an Attacker cab and FWD body. I do not know what other bodies will be offered, but I will bet they will offer others. There will be a list of options I am told that a department can pick from.

Seagrave has come up with a nice looking program pumper at a very good price, starting at $ 243,000 , To bad it was not on the market two years ago when we took delivery of our KME Extreme custom pumper for $ 270,000 !
